*feels accomplished*

I had leftover roasted chicken. So! Tortilla pizza! A flower tortilla spread with ricotta, topped with thin-sliced tomatoes, avocado, cooked spinach, roasted chicken, feta and mozarella. Baked at 375 until I felt like it had accomplished something, then broiled a bit. The tortilla held up nicely. I was too timid with the feta and it should have had some kind of garlicky element (not actual garlic, I am never slicing fresh garlic again ever), and in the end I piled my slices with extra avacado, spinach and feta but after that? EXCELLENT. I wanted mushrooms but forgot them. Black or kalamata olives would have been amazing. Next time I will put strength of the tortilla to the test!

Yeah, that's it. If you have suggestions for improvement I welcome them!

EDIT: I have found that mixing the ricotta with garlic powder, salt and parsley (does the parsley actually do anything? or just look pretty?) before spreading, then liberally applying all other ingredients greatly improves flavor. Also, optional mexican blend cheese rather than mozarella.

Oh, and I had another good run. Rufus Wainwright's Want One surprisingly good for running, or perhaps that's just because I love it so much for all its epic ways. Now for PT, shower, IT Crowd and restless sleep! Hair appt in the morning!

My life, she is magnificently exciting.

Sounds absolutely delicious! Yeah, olives would be go well, maybe garlicky olives.^^

Fresh garlic is a nuisance but for me it's what makes eating worth while.

An alternative to fresh garlic is dried garlic flakes from the supermarket herbs section. No cutting or mess and pretty much the same garlic smell and flavour in your cooking. Especially in sauces and stir fries, unless you're gourmet fussy, it's good and easy. Might take you a couple of goes to figure out quantities, otherwise... ^_~

I found that if I dressed up the ricotta with olive oil, garlic powder, salt and parsley, it really adds that extra flavor. I would try garlic olives but I still don't have any!

Garlic powder mixed in with the ricotta works pretty well as it turns out!:)
